Quick update on the progress on the negotiation impasse with the City. On Friday, November 1, we met with the City to discuss the outstanding items that we are in impasse with. We narrowed down to wages (obviously), shift bidding by seniority, guaranteed day off per week, and call on status/compensation.
The City had “no appitite” to discuss further and had to talk with “their principles.” Their words not ours.
We are currently working through the impasse procedures outlined in the FMC Sec 3-17. Which translates to a whole lot of waiting!!!
Maybe this is the time, we start all planning on having lunch time gatherings at City Hall. We can all wear a blue shirt and share a meal together around the water fountain. What are your thoughts?
Just as a friendly reminder, the City email system allows us the option to share announcement/notifications only. Please do not reply to this email. Please use the cfpea.net blog function.
